in connection with the proposal

Armour. Mr. Wallace also transmitt
ed this information and additional
data on the proposal to the Senate in
response to a resolution of Senator
La Fette, Republican, Wisconsin.
In a formal announcement Mr.
Wallace declared there was nothing
connected with thia.j n the packers and stock yard act,
which specifically prohibits the pur
chase by one packer of the physical
assets of another. An opinion by At
torney General Daugherty, made pub
lic with the naonuncement, said the
act is essentially a regulatory
that the duties and powers of the
Secretary of Agriculture there under
are to regulate the industry.
The Attorney General declared
neither the act itself nor the regula
tion provided for therein- contemplat
ed or requires that the Secretary of
Agriculture should advise the indus

Armour and Morris during the last
ten years had slaughtered 24.57 per
cent Of the total meat production
inspected plants, while Swift and
Company had slaughtered 22.39 per
cent. Of the total meat production
In 1921 of 16,169,000,000 pounds, it
said Armour produced 10.49 per
cent, and Morris 6.23 per cent
Figures on subsidiary products also
;re given in part
The Armour brief emphasized that
the consilidation “will permit econo
mies to be effected in and through the
administration of the business, the
manufacture and distribution of its
products and the increased volume of
business through its facilities as will
place the company in a position to
more efficiently and best serve the
public and the producer of live stick.
The brief also contended that the
facts in the acquisition of Morris and
Company “will not only not result In
placing in one company a dominating
power over the packing industry, but
demonstrate that the company will
control a relatively small percentage
of the business.”
More than 76 per cent, of the total
business, it was said would be in the
hands of more than 1,000 companies
great and small, actively competing
with Armour and Company.
“The showing made,” said the brief
'is incontrovertible and conclusive
upon the fact that this proposed
acquisition will not unreasonably
restraint trade in the distribution of
ih meats and packing house pro
ducts anywhets throughout the cout>
try.”

Citing a decision of the Supreme
Court involving the act, Mr. Daugher
ty quoted from Chief Justice Taft as
follows:
“Its provisions are carefully drawn
:o apply only to those practices and
obstructions which in the judgement
of Congress are likely to affect in
terstate commerce prejudicially.”
Briefs of Armour and Company
presented to Secretary Wallace and
transmitted to the Senate contended
that the consolidation Would not hin
der, but would increase competition j
in the packing industry. Decisions!
interpreting the Sherman and Clay
ton antitrust lnw the federal trade
commission act and the packers and
stock yards act were cited to support
the proposed consolidation.
That the government under the
packers and stock ycards adt would
retain power to prevent any improper
results of the merger was contended
